[Elecraft] K3 Macro toggle

[Nick-WA5BDU]

Whoa, I like this.  Must have missed it the first time around.  I now 
tap M3 to toggle between
5W (label: QRP) and 100W (label: QRO) with these macros:

MACRO1   PC005;MN110;SWT12;SWT35;SWT14;
MACRO2   PC100;MN110;SWT11;SWT35;SWT14;

That freed up (hold) M3 for another macro.
